A New Monster on the Loose

 

By Elton Camp

 

I suppose that honesty is never a defect

One product’s name is so scarily correct

 

For it is certainly a monster, yes indeed

For a day, no more sodium or fat will need

 

It’s Hardee’s fast food we thank for this treat

The Monster Biscuit for breakfast is complete

 

It contains bacon, sausage, ham, egg and cheese

With a made-from-scratch biscuit holding these

 

It has more cholesterol than you need all day

For only a bit more add hash rounds, they say

     

 

 

Included in this (at no extra charge):
2300 mg sodium (1 tsp. salt) [Daily Value = 2400 mg]
275 mg cholesterol [Daily Value = 300 mg]
18 g saturated fat [Daily Value = 20 g]
57 g fat [Daily Value = 65 g]
30 g protein
38 g carbohydrates
790 calories
